Great positive post. Dolphins are extremely smart animals.

We still to this day don't understand their communication methods completely, but they are highly intelligent and fascinating animals.

They're also highly efficient pack predators.

Sorry, the dolphins splashing wasn't to alert the humans, chances are it was hunting. At least the results were positive.

That's mainly because until recently we (humans) considered communication as something vocal. Only until recently did people who study this also take in account body language (saldy how it is always in front of us - literally).
